Will get back Phil 🫡
Hey @gentle-policeman-89141 you there?
It took us 2 hours to figure out the issue 😭
The issue is the word "description" it is a reserved word and should not be used to name a variable. After changing it to "flowdescription" it worked fine 😄 We ill be reporting this issue soon and it will be fixed in the future!
We removed the "workflow.description" variable from all the workflows (you might have to add those back and change the names of course). In Refine listing and the execute code card in refine listing I have it set to "flowdescription"
g
sorry bro just got back on aha
no wayy lol, to be honest I was thinking i may have to re factor all the other wfs but since the ANs are only in refine listing, i may only need to refine that one
ahh, did you change the description variable to flowdescription in all workflows?
I thought that if in a workflow that doesnt use ANs, i can still call it description and pass description to the workflow in that flowdescription var. Do you recon I can change the other workflow vars back to workflow.description and keep flowdescription for refine listing wf? I wont do it yet ill wait first hah
it doesnt matter regardless, thanks my guy !
l
I was advised to avoid that naming variables "description" entirely. Just adjust it slightly to avoid any potential issues!
g
top man! nice one ill update when ive sorted it.
@loud-crowd-60573 Its working fine now mate, after refactoring every wf to use flowDescription. 💯
l
Amazing news 💯 🎉
